Now it was time to say goodbye to Ashford Castle and continue on to Killarney. Choosing a hotel in the area was really not that easy. Sheens Fall Lodge was actually the classic choice, but even though it has two Michelin stars, the reviews had not been very good recently. The location is also not great. Another alternative was the Europe. Not bad, really, but I didn't really like the penthouse suites and couldn't quite warm to it. Then there was the Killarney Park Hotel. Very nice, freshly renovated and really beautiful rooms. But I didn't book that either. It's not in the countryside, but in the middle of town. My attention was drawn to the Aghadoe Heights Hotel. According to the photos, it had a very nice view and offered a fairly large penthouse suite at a price I found acceptable. I also got the impression from the photos that it had a particularly nice wellness area. So I decided on the Aghadoe Heights. Thanks to a Black Friday promotion, the penthouse cost €6,240 for four nights.
The journey there is as usual via narrow roads. But then you arrive at the hotel and the surroundings are really beautiful. The hotel itself isn't really that great. You can already see the penthouse.








From the parking lot.

Yes, there was something... Here is the legendary Aghadoe Stone in the parking lot.

Cars love it! Equal rights for all! Why should only humans have a stone to kiss (more on that later)?
